This book reprints an ancient Chinese work from the late Warring
States period (3rd century BC) that contains stories and anecdotes
exemplifying the carefree nature of the ideal Taoist sage. Chuang
Tzu's philosophy represents the main current of Taoist teachings,
and his text is widely regarded as both deeply insightful and a
great achievement in the Chinese poetical essay form. The version
presented was translated by Feng Yu-lan, the famous Chinese
philosopher, who puts more emphasis on Chuang Tzu's philosophy than
do previous attempts. William James once said that every great
philosopher has a personal vision. When one has grasped that
vision, the whole system can be easily understood. And Croce once
said that the greater a philosophical system is, the simpler the
central idea. Although the present translation is limited to the
first seven chapters of Chuang Tzu's writings, it accurately
conveys his main vision and ideas.
